Two. First, check to see if it's listed in /etc/fstab and second, find out if the "file" exists.
The file (/dev/fedora_localhost-live/home) does exist. /etc/fstab contains:
$ grep live /etc/fstab /dev/mapper/fedora_localhost--live-root / ext4 defaults 1 1 /dev/mapper/fedora_localhost--live-swap none swap defaults 0 0
That would imply I should add /dev/fedora_localhost-live/home to /etc/fstab, but it already contains:
$ grep home /etc/fstab UUID=c1df25d9-4c89-43a5-886d-3bbbf8513b22 /home ext4 defaults 0 0
so I'm not clear on the logic of all this.
I don't know why it's trying to mount that partition at boot, but I do know a workaround. First, create a mountpoint, such as /mnt/foo. Then, add a line to /etc/fstab, mounting the partition there, but instead of using the default options, use noauto users. This will keep it from mounting at boot, but if you want to look at what's there, you can mount it as an ordinary user. HTH, HAND.
